Sweeney, who was taken to a local hospital for an X-ray, told reporters she was “fine.” The Associated Press reported that she suffered no fractures and Sweeney told NBC that she is “very sore.”

“I’m very sore, and pretty stiff,” she said. “I’m going to get an X-ray on my back after this, but I wanted to have the last word. So thanks for all the support, you guys. It’s a bummer, for sure, and I know that I’m better than that. But here we are — it happens.”
